Tell that to Bill.  He seems to be under the impression that
the first person who reports a problem should be discounted
as a biassed opinion or something, rather than someone who
actually made the effort to report a problem.

FM> And, unless they point off you or use another BBS to send you a message,
FM> they *can't* report it anyway! Catch-22!

Yeah, it's a problem.  Good lesson for not losing your password,
hey what!

FM> Er, what can't I spell?

I can't remember.  Maybe I was talking about "Y" for "Yell" or
something.  BFN.  Paul.
